The plot succession of God of War series thickens and leads to a climactic ending in God of War III, providing more depth beyond the ordinary theme of revenge. It bears close resemblance to the traditional Greek tragedies. God of War III is a product of refinement and elaboration.  The basic approach, together with the battle plan remains essentially untouched. In comparison to the previous games, the combat attacks of God of War III have increased in speed and finesse.

The flow of the game of the God of War III is much more smooth and understandable as the puzzles’ quantity and complexity have been reduced. They’re not particularly intricate or difficult compared to the last game. In fact, the solutions are practically handed down to you. On the other hand, the scale and intensity of the combat have become so grandeur, bigger and more incredible. The game takes place on a scale that is overwhelming and mesmerizing to every player. It transports you to a world of highly polished and vivid graphics bringing your emotions to its maximum height.

The only downside of God of War III is that the added weaponry bears similarities with the default blades and there is under-utilization of some of the abilities.

Nonetheless, God of War III offers us an epic story that outshines them all and an exceptional video game that leaves you panting and breathless in the end.

ModNation Racer is composed of two games wrapped into one. The first game is about creativity. You get to design your own car, personal racer and also the tracks upon which to race.  It features excellent creation engines that may be the focus of the game aside from racing down the course.

ModNation Racer gives you a good sense of being entirely a part in the game’s world where you can feel a real-life racing competition more so when there are awards for the most magnificent top karts and tracks that have been making a sensational race on the PlayStation Network. However, in a single-player mode, the racing mechanics are so unstable. There is frequent drop of framerate which borders to be so annoying. On top of that, there are lots of loading screens. The racing aspect feels like it was put together simply to show off the creations and nothing more.  The game fails to hold up.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii reputation precedes itself. Its predecessor Super Mario Galaxy, on which this new video game was patterned and anchored, hit it big in the past and wowed so many fans around the globe. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a creation of masterful Wii out from the mistakes and refinement of the last video. The definitive element of Nintendo’s Galaxy 2 blueprint, however, is that it’s technically the second part of a learning curve that the original game kicked off. This means that it has also the same level of difficulty.  It still contains the same creativity and willful challenge, but with new directions of gameplay and sharp add-ons.

The new version of Super Mario Galaxy has various and multi-faceted gameplay styles and perspectives as well as level designs. Sometimes the contorting challenges and the game’s instant change of gravity and physics render the player in bafflement. Nonetheless, the pacing remains perfect, being able to simultaneously deliver several fronts of multiple and smooth difficulties, in the midst of its loose structure.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 offers brilliant, imaginative worlds that looks so stunning and contains fantastic power-ups that will keep you pre-occupied for weeks. Nintendo has done a great job in making the sequel of Super Mario Galaxy burning with intensity and brilliance. It does possess the same spirit of fun leaving you breathless during and in the end.

As the name implies, Modern Warfare 2 is not the most traditional game of the series. It features three camps for game play which contains an overwhelming amount of content, each unique from the other, giving three completely different experiences all in one. Modern Warfare 2 offers online competition for more intense combat, full co-op Spec Ops mode gaining allies with other players, and a choice of single-handedly facing the threat alone. The call is yours. Despite having well over double the amount of total content, Modern Warfare 2 retains its strategic feel across the board. It highlights complex terrain in the setting, utilizes weather effects and destructible objects, and many others, making its visual effects greatly improved from the others.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is definitely one of the best first-person shooters out there. The common issues of COD4’s multiplayer have been solved by Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer for better experience. There’s an insane level of depth and strategy as well as more height and diverse route alternatives.

Indeed, Rockstar has given the players the opportunity to roam around the world with limitations of objectives to a small location. The expansion of the borders of your mission moves in a slower pace, hour by hour, making sure that you grow accustomed with the dirt paths and settlements. Modern Warfare 2 is one that gives you exceptional experience to video gaming.

The graphics of 2010 FIFA World Cup offer great details on the players and coaches as well as the vast expanse of the field itself. The soundtrack is one that magnetizes you to a far off place.

On the other hand, the major downfall of 2010 FIFA World Cup has something to do with the game’s setup. It gives little permission to personalize your video game experience which is rather sad because every other sports title in the market permits individual players to customize different parts of the opposing AI.

Another negative aspect deals with the artificial intelligence that governs CPU-controlled players. These players are rather laid back when it comes to a loose ball landing just a few feet away from them. If the pass is not intentionally done for them, they certainly won’t give any reaction. They play as hard as they do in making effective defense, but this same raucousness is not seen in getting loose balls.

The overall presentation, though, of 2010 FIFA World Cup is strong. It is a perfect setting for the real World Cup experience. However, flexibility in some of its aspects is definitely needed to make it more exhilarating and fun.

The story is an amalgamation of different seasons of 24. The general theme of The Splinter Cell: Conviction is absolute anger. Sam, after knowing that the death of his daughter was not really an accident, but a calculated personal attack, he burst into a futile rage and intense conviction of finding out the truth and searching for those people who were responsible to pay.

Unlike with the previous titles in which you hid in the dark to avoid the enemy and avoid confrontation, Conviction is different in a way that in this game you hide in the dark as the hunter, not the hunted, stalking your prey and striking at the most opportune moment. This signifies a complete role reversal for Sam.

The most excellent additional aspect of the game is the “Mark and Execute” mechanic in which the player is allowed to tag enemies that when successfully done together with hand-to-hand maneuver, a single button press downs the marked targets automatically. On the other hand, the interactive interrogation scenes are nice and good to look at, but they are not as detailed and in-depth as they should be. The very famous interrogations are a missed opportunity.

The Splinter Cell: Conviction taken as one package has very good animations and gritty but excellent environments. Though the framerate drops at some occasions, but it does not affect the overall performance of the game.

There are four modes of play, and each mode can accommodate up to four people playing at the same time, each using just a Wii Remote, no dance pads or mat required. There are various game modes available, but the basic gameplay revolves around the player placing a Wii Remote in hand and then copying exactly the same moves of an on-screen dancer. The more vigorous you dance, the better your points will be. The rates vary from Great, OK or X for each dance move.

A filling bar symbolizes your overall performance as a dancer. If you were able to earn Great rated moves in sequence, then you will also earn extra combo points. It also features 32 different dance songs to choose from. The songs span a variety of genres including disco, pop, rock, etc. from yesterday and today.

The downside of this game is the inconsistency it has in its rating of the moves executed. For instance, some moves being marked earlier as Great do not score you the same thing seconds later when you execute exactly the same motion. It does not always recognize your moves which is rather bad. But then considering the amount of moves the game is asking you to perform, this is not a surprise. This negative aspect of the game surely breaks the integrity of the game’s mechanics.

Just Dance Wii is a game for anyone who enjoys dancing. It has a great track list, good dance routines and fun for all ages.
